Review of New Work stock and
petrOIeuIn Markets.

NEW YORK, Novembe- 23.-The stock mar
ket was dull and heavy to-day until the
afternoon, when it became active and
strong. There was little of interest in the
market during the forenoon, though Rich.
mond and West Point retained a feature IN
the afternoon. A story was circulated to
to the effect that the report OF
the Investigation committee would be
very favorable to Union Pacific and that
stock Immediately became the leader in
the market and before the close had adj
vanced 81 per cent. Central Pacific and
Northern Pacific also felt the stimulus:
through the latter and was advanced also
on negotiation with European parties OF
$4,000, 900 of the new third mortgage loan.
Most of the active list are higher tonight
though the advances are in a few cases for
more than fractional amounts; but Union

tucky, Murphyburg, Nelson and Trimble
counties report the condition at 100
per cent, Whitley county 80 per cent,
Crittenden and Lawrence fair and
Webster good. Seven counties in Mis-
souri, report an average condition of 10S
per cent; three report good and one be-
low the average. From Kansas eight
counties report an average condition OF
20 per cent. Chautauqua reports the
condition good; Nesser reports good, and
Cherokee damaged by chinchbugs. Re-
ports from the winter wheat counties IN
Wisconsin indicate condition of IS to
so per cent.
The spring wheat growing territory
gives the following figures: Ten Iowa
counties report the average condition 80
per cent, two report good, one above the
average and one below. From Minnesota
nine counties report the condition fair to
good. Seven counties in Dakota report
the full average condition, and the same
is true of six counties reporting from
Nebraska. While the showing on the
whole is fairly good up to the time these
reports were forwarded, it remains fact
that the continued. dry weather will
materially reduce these percentages Of
condition. Throughout almost the entire
territory covered by our reports meadows
and pastures are reported as needing rain.

AMarshall Fire.
Special to the Gazette

Special 10 the GaZeCCe
MARSHALL, TEX, May 15.-At 2 .. m.
to-day the fire alarm was given and the
engine was hurried to the block near the
Texas aud Pacific freight depot, which
was OF fire near the center. The horse
hose was delayed on account of the horse
refusing to work, which necessitaJed the
hose being drawn by the fremen. After
the hose was laid the engine did good
work in protecting adjoining buildings
and several houses were on fire, but were
saved. It is difficult to determine where
the fire originated. 1t is supposed about
the center of the block, either in shoe
store or a restaurant. The amount of
damage and the amount of insurance can
not be accurately determined at this
time. The buildings and stock were all
partially or fully insured. The parties
losing are as follows:
@ J. r. HeartsilI and W. W. Heart
sill, two-stoTy drug store and
another two-story building occupied
as offices and sleeping rooms, loss $4,000;
insurance $11O0.
J. R. Heartsill, stock of drugs and
fixtures, large part Of which was saved,
fully insured.
Several frame buildings and a two
story brick belonging to W. B. Heard,
loss $4,000, partially insured.
Wilkinson & Hayes, stock OF groceries,
insured for $25O0, loss $500, damage
by fire and water and removal.
It being Sunday the local insurance
offices are not open and the Offices insur-
ing the losses cannot be asCertained.

Special Bulletin.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The Signal
Office has issued the following weather
and crop bulletin for the week ending
May IA:
Temperature-During the current week
the weather has been warmer than usual
in all the agricultural districts east of the
Rocky mountains and in the southern half
and the extreme northern portions of Cal
ifornia, the only sections reporting cooler
weather than the average for the week
being the lower Rio Grande valley, Ore
gon, Washington territory and Central
California. The excess of temperature
over the normal for the week in the wheat
and corn regions of Ohio, the upper Mis-
sissippi and the lower Missouri valleys
ranged So to 750, daily average of from
about 6 to 1I0 above the normal.
This excess of temperature served to ad-
vance the season over the regions where
the total deficiency in temperature since
January ranges from 100 degrees to 800
degrees. To the Gulf states, Tennessee,
New jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Delaware the week was about % degrees
warmer than usual, thus in
creasing the excess of temper
ature previously reported in these
sections. Inthe cotton regions the ex-
cess of temperature for the week was
about normal, thereby changing but
slightly the total deficiency from 100 to
200 degrees as noted in the bulletin for
the previous week.
Rainfall-During the past week there
has been a deficiency of rainfall in all
sections except in the lower Rio Grande
valley, Delaware, Maryland and at sta
tioDa in OREGON and WASHINGTON Terri
tory, where slight excess is reported.
The slight rainfall during the week
served to increase the deficiency already
existing In the southern states, where the
rainfall since January has been from
six to ten inches less than the average for
the season. The rainfall for the season
is slightly in excess from Nor thern Wis
consin westward to Northern Dakota,
and in upper Ohio, eastern portions of
New York and Pennsylvania and in
Southern Michigan. Generally in the
wheat and corn regions Gof the north
the week has been exceptionally
favorable for agricultural purposes.
Dry, warm weather continues in
the cotton region east of the Mississippi,
while rains west of the Mississippi have
been favorable TO the cotton crop. Al
though there is large deficiency in the
rainfall in the cotton region the trecent
showers have improved the condition of
the crop in the lower MISSISSIPPI valley,
while the weather in North and South
Carolina and Southern Virginia is re
ported as favorable for the growth of the
plant.

ALMOST LIKE 4 ROMANCE.
A Story of Financial Integrity Probably
without Parallel.

h1InOuC q tar8llei.
New Haven Special to New York World.
The Register tonight prints a re-
markahle story of financial integrity on
the part of southern capitalist, which
stands without parallel in the
commercial history of the country. TIE
names of the principals are withheld, but
the eminent responsibility of the counsel
in the case, ex-Judge LoZon B. Morris of
this city, is sufficient guarantee of its
truthfuluess.
The Register says that at the beginning
of the war wealthy southern grocer,
who had recently taken his young book
keeper into partnership, fearing that his
property would be confscated, decided to
go north. He told the book-keeper to use
the property, valued at about 100000,
as he thought best, and that he, the
merchant, would rely upon the
book-keeper's honor for a settle
ment at some future time. The
merchant then came the north and
settled in New Haven. Six years sgo,
wondering what had become of his es-
| tate in the south, the merchant placed the
matter in the hands of Judge Morris, with
| instructions to investigate and collect, if
there was anything to collect. After
some correspondence with the book
keeper at the south the latter for
warded an acknowledgment of
the claim and an inventory show
| ing his Indebtedness to his
former employer to be $648, 900, and ex-
pressed his desire to return the property,
but requested time to perfect his arrange
ments. He began remitting several years
ago, and last week forwarded the last
payment, including interest, thus wiping
out debt of honor. Judge Morris de-
clines to give the details, further than
that his client is gentleman listed as q
millionaire, and that the southern gentle
man is now wealthy banker.

as GOOD AS GOLD.
Four Bings and an Ace were Good for the
Entire Assets of the Bank.
San FrancIsco Wash.


The other morning as the janitor of q
bank not very far from the Palace opened
the door he was surprised to observe
three tired-looking citizens seated on the
steps, the center one of whom held a
sealed envelope carefully in sight of his
companions.
"Want to make deposit, gentlemen?"
asked the cashier, who shortly arrived.
"Step inside"
''No, want to negotiate loan," said
the man with the envelope, "and there
amt q minute to lose. l want $4,000
Quickern' hades can scorch feather"
"What collaterals have you-govern-
ment?" inquired the bank official.
Government nothin'. I've got some
thing that beats 4 per cents. all hollow.
You see Ive been sitting in poker game
across the street and there's over $4,000
in the pot. There are three or four pretty
strong hands out, and as I've every cent
in the center the boys have given me
thirty minutes to raise a stake on my
hand. It's in this envelope. Just look
at it, but don't give 1t away to these gen.
tIemen. They're in the game and came
along to see I don't monkey with the
cards."
"But, my dear SIR" said the cashier,
who had quietly opened the envelope and
found it to contain four kings and an ace,
"this is entirely irregular-We don't lend
money on cards.
"But you amt going to see me raised
out on hand like that?" whispered the
pokerist. "These fellows think I'm bluff
ing, but can just clean out the whole
gang. You see we amt playing Pushes,
so I've got 'em right in the door"
"Can't help it, sir. Never heard Of
such thing" said the cashier, and the
disappointed applicant and friends drift
| ed sadly out. On the corner they met
the banks president, who was himself
just from quiet little allnight game at the
Union, They explained the case again,
and the next moment the superior officer
| darted into the bank, seized bag Of
! twenties and followed the trio. In about
! ten minutes he returned with the bag and
an extra handful of tWenties, which he
| flung on the counter.
"Here, credit $500 to interest account"
he said to the cashier. "Why, 1 thought
you had more business snap, sir. Ever
play poker?"
"No, sir"
"Ah! thought not-thought not. If
you did you'd know what good collateral
was. Remember that in future-four
kings and an ace, Pushes barred, are al
ways good in this institution for our
entire assets, sir-our entire assets"
